    Notes Tall reeds around most of shoreline. Open water counted from fishing 'jetty'. Old tailings dam inaccessible due to road flooding. Trenches dug around much of S and E shoreline apparently to prevent sewage inflow. These restrict vehicle access to the shoreline. Artisanal miners active in area so safety a concern.
